FAQ and Resources
🌱 About Counselling
Counselling can help you explore what is happening for you, whether that relates to something in the past, difficulties you are facing now or uncertainty about what lies ahead. It can help you make sense of your feelings, understand yourself better and consider changes that feel realistic and manageable for your individual circumstances, capacity and comfort levels.
Sometimes, understanding where something comes from can be helpful. At other times, the focus may be very much on what is happening in your life now. There is no need to have everything worked out before you begin.
You can find useful resources on the BACP website about what therapy is, what to expect and what a first session may be like.
🌱 What to Expect?
You will have the opportunity to meet to talk about what may be worrying you or causing difficulties.
I work in partnership with you and at your own pace, exploring whatever you wish to bring to counselling.
I offer a warm, supportive, non-judgmental relationship in which you can develop a greater understanding and appreciation of yourself, while learning to trust your own sense of what feels right for you.
Counselling can be ad hoc, one time only, short-term, or long-term.  Each therapeutic session lasts 50 minutes  – or longer by mutual arrangement.
It is important to find a therapist you feel comfortable with.
To support this, I offer a free -15-20 minute introductory (no obligations) session online, where you can explain what you would like to get from counselling and discuss any questions or concerns you may have.
🌱 Fees
Individuals: £75 per -50 minutes
Couples/Relationships of 2+ : £100
